    Alabama Hangout - Feb 27/28

    How does the last Saturday in February sound to everyone. Thought about meeting at the Borden Trailhead and doing a overnighter down Clifty Creek or we could walk down #200 to #209 and walk to Big Tree and camp past it somewhere. Any more ideas?

    Count me in. I've never camped along Clifty Creek, so that sounds interesting, but I'll go along with whatever plans everyone agrees on.

    I'm pretty booked up until mid-March (actually booked up then too until mid-April). I hope to make some hangout in AL soon. Maybe this Summer sometime?

    In the Sipsey Wilderness. The Borden Trailhead is the first turnoff to the right on Cranal Road (Hwy 60), just off Hwy 33.

    Here's a PDF map of the area. It has quite a bit of detail, so zoom in as needed.

    I usually go into Bankhead from the north. If anyone needs help finding the trailhead, I can meet them in Moulton and either carpool or convoy.

    Sorry you can't make it. Not much notice I know,Just thought I would do something and see if anyone who did not get to go to the winter hang who lives close might be able to make it.

    Well, I knew you'd be quick about setting one up. Hopefully can make it down to the next one. Sounds great.
